Can't join this poll either, I made a cash down and financed the balance.

I didn't trade anything either. I put $5000 down to get the payments lower. I kept my '98 Windstar with 99,900 miles on it because it's been such an awesome vehicle. I thought I would do better selling it outright than trading it in. It'd be a great car for a teen to drive to school.

i just hope my HHR performs as well as the Windstar did.

Me too! I sold a few cars to get the down payment. Chevy van conversion, 2 Pinto station wagons (yes Ng, 2 of 'em, it was hard to 'let go' ), a Lincoln Town Car and prolly a few more I don't remmeber. I saved for quite a while to make a sizeable down payment.

What are you copying me???? Mine had 120,000 on it too. I did keep my 72 El Camino SS though, so If I have to haul something higher than the HHR roof I'm ok

I traded a '04 2500HD LT2 with a Duramax. Fuel costs were killing me.

While not actually a trade, we sold this 1994 Infiniti J30 when we bought the HHR. It was very clean, 96K miles, basically a Nissan 300ZX in a sedan body. Great car, it was just time for something new.

No tradein. I knew when the HHR first came out that I wanted it. I was already in the market for a new car and when the HHR came out I knew I wanted it. I have a '93 Geo Prism LSI with every option, had it since Jan of '94. It has been a reliable point a to b car for me, and it's still going strong with 135K miles. I figured it would be worth more to me as a back-up than what I'd get for it, so I put a sizable amount down to lower the payments.

Traded my 2003 Impala with 112000 miles and excellent condition, and also a 99 Ford taurus beater/work car with 144000 miles. The taurus had a broken windshield, dent in the fender, and failing o2 and speed sensors. Didn't do to bad on trade in value.
